Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 1:13 pmWow, I could not do any of that percussion acrobatics 
But with all respect, that is more a circus show than anything else.
This video has been discussed here before if I am not wrong.
Flashy stuff, but not very appealing musically in my opinion.

It is entertaining and flashy and innovative and fun, and accessible to a wide audience.
I suspect he could hold his own in a comparsa too.

This guy couldn't hold his own in any comparsa de conga I've ever heard.. It's a circus act with no soul or folklore , It's baseless, and the dude doesn't
even hit the drum right.. I don't want to sound mean , but wtf?
Imagine him trying to sit down at a Rumba in the park? They'd stab him .. lol
